DNS service for TS-209 in external network.
Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of secondary DNS server that
provides DNS service for TS-209 in external network.
Note:
1. Please contact your ISP or network administrator for the IP address
of primary and secondary DNS servers. When TS-209 plays the role
as a terminal and needs to perform independent connection, e.g. BT
download, you must enter at least one DNS server IP for proper URL
connection. Otherwise, the function may not work properly.
2. If you select to obtain IP address via DHCP, there is no need to
configure the primary and secondary DNS servers. You can enter
“0.0.0.0” in the settings.
Enable DHCP Server

If no DHCP is available in the LAN where TS-209 locates, you can enable this
function to enable TS-209 as a DHCP server and allocate dynamic IP address to
DHCP clients in LAN.
You can set the range of IP addresses allocated by DHCP server and the lease
time. Lease time refers to time that IP address is leased to the clients by DHCP
server. When the time expires, the client has to acquire an IP address again.
For example, to establish a DLNA network, and share the multimedia files on TS-
209 to DLNA DMP via UPnP while there is no NAT gateway that supports DHCP
server, you can enable DHCP server of TS-209. TS-209 will allocate dynamic IP
address to DMP or other clients automatically and set up a local network.
Note: If there is an existing DHCP server in your LAN, do not enable

this function. Otherwise, there will be IP address allocation and network
access errors.

Jumbo Frame Settings (MTU)
"Jumbo Frames" refer to Ethernet frames that are larger than 1500 bytes. It is
designed to enhance Ethernet networking throughput and reduce the CPU
utilization of large file transfers by enabling more efficient larger payloads per
packet.
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) refers to the size (in bytes) of the largest
packet that a given layer of a communications protocol can transmit.
TS-209 uses standard Ethernet frames: 1500 bytes by default. If your network
appliances support Jumbo Frame setting, select the appropriate MTU value for
your network environment. TS-209 supports 4074, 7418, and 9000 bytes for

- 63 -
You can create the following disk volumes:
• Single Disk Volume

Each disk will be used as a standalone disk. However, if a disk is damaged, all
data will be lost.
• RAID 1 Mirroring Disk Volume

RAID 1 (mirroring disk) protects your data by automatically backing up the
contents of one drive onto the second drive of a mirrored pair. This protects
your data if one of the drives fails. Unfortunately, the storing capacity is equal
to a single drive, as the second drive is used to automatically back up the first.
Mirroring Disk is suitable for personal or corporate use to store important data.
• RAID 0 Striping Disk Volume

RAID 0 (striping disk) combines 2 or more drives into one larger disk. It
offers the fastest disk access but it does not have any protection of your data
if the striped array fails. The disk capacity equals the number of drives in the
array times the size of the smallest drive. Striping disk is usually used to
maximize your disk capacity or for fast disk access but not for storing
important data.
• Linear Disk Volume

You can combine two or more disks into one larger disk. During file saving,
the file will be saved on physical disks sequentially but does not have a disk
failure file protection function. The overall capacity of linear disk is the sum of
all disks. Linear disk is generally used for storing large data and is not
appropriate to use for file protection of sensitive data.

About UPnP and DLNA
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of computer network protocols

promulgated by the UPnP Forum. The purpose of UPnP is to allow devices to
connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks at home and
in corporate environment. UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP
device control protocols built upon open, Internet-based communication
standards.
The term UPnP is gleaned from Plug-and-play, a technology for dynamically

attaching devices to a computer directly.
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is an alliance of a number of consumer

electronics, mobile and personal computer manufacturers. Its aim is to establish
a home network in which the electronic devices from all companies are
compatible with each other under an open standard. The alliance also tries to
promote the idea of digital home by establishing DLNA certification standard. All
DLNA certified products connected to the home network can be accessed
seamlessly to enable consumers to enjoy digital life conveniently.

Chapter 11. Configuring AD Authentication
(for TS-209 Pro only)
AD environment mixed mode can be supported by TS-209. For example,

qatest.com.tw and sub2.qatest.com.tw are domains controlled by Windows 2003
server, and sub1.qatest.com.tw domain is controlled by Windows 2000 server.
Please make sure you have enabled the Active Directory Service on the Windows
Server and check the following items:
z TS-209 DNS server setting must be assigned to AD server.

z TS-209 and AD server can synchronize only if their time difference is less
than 5 minutes.
z TS-209 and AD server will synchronize every 5 minutes. To configure the
settings manually, TS-209 has to be set as standalone mode and then
added to AD domain.
z After adding to AD domain, you must login as Domain_name\Username to
- 151 -
access Network Neighborhood. Local users of TS-209 cannot access the
server by Network Neighborhood.
z It is suggested to use Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, or Windows 2003
Service Pack 1.
z When TS-209 is added to AD domain, the authority of “everyone” will not
work, “everyone” is the default account of TS-209, but is not supported in
AD domain. Therefore the authority has to be reset.
z The IP address of the AD server should be recorded in the DNS settings on
the AD server.
z You must change the password of “administrator” after you create “Active
Directory” service on the AD server.
z The DNS server on the AD Server should have two records on it. For
example, when the AD server name is 2003tc.testad.com, the records will
be:
2003tc.testad.com A 192.168.1.100
Testad.com A 192.168.1.100
One is “A record” for AD server, and the other is the domain “A record” for
DNS queries.
Adding TS-209 to Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Domain
1. In TCP/IP Configuration in Network Settings, enter the IP address of Windows

AD server as the primary DNS Server IP.
2. Go to Microsoft Networking of Network Settings. Enable AD Domain Member,

and enter the domain name and the user name with administrator access
right to that domain.
- 152 -
Note:
a. Make sure that a fully qualified domain name such as AD.local has
been filled in.
b. Make sure the user name with administrator access right to that
domain.
3. When the following message appears after applying the settings in step 2,
check the time zone settings. Make sure the difference of your time and that
of AD server is less than 5 minutes. If the time difference is larger than 5
minutes, you will not be able to add the domain member.
4. Upon successful adding of domain member, you can view the list for domain
users and local users in User Management.
- 153 -
5. Go to Access Control in Network Share Management to configure the access
control right of AD users for all available network shares.
Using AD users to access services
To access services like FTP, Network Neighborhood, or Apple Talk with an AD user
account, add DomainName\ before the user name when logging in.
- 154 -
Chapter 12. Access TS-209 via Linux OS
In addition to Microsoft and Mac OS, TS-209 also supports Linux systems through
the NFS service:
1. In Linux, run the following command:

mount -t nfs <TS-209 IP address>:/<Network Share Name>
<Directory to Mount>
For example, if the IP address of your TS-209 is 192.168.0.1 and you want to
link the network share folder “public” under the /mnt/pub directory, use the
following command:
mount -t nfs 192.168.0.1:/public /mnt/pub
Note: You must login as “root” user to initiate the above command.

and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of
the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors
commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that
you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the
software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do
these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny
you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions
translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software,
or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a
fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make
sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them
these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer
you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify
the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
- 160 -
software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by
others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish
to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain
patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we
have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or
not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND

MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or
work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this
License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty;
keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at
your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
- 161 -
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in
part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run,
you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most
ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate
copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that
you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such
an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable

sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and
its terms, does not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole,
and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to
work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control
the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the
Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section
2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
provided that you also do one of the following:
- 162 -
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on
a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any
third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing
source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding
source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for
noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in objects
code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b
above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the
source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition
files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable.
However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the
major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which
the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy

from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code
from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third
parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your
rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as
such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program
or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept
- 163 -
this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work
based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or
works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may
not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties
to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement

or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on
you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations
under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence
you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would
not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive
copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both
it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular
circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a
whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other
property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the
sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system,
which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that
system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any
other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a

consequence of the rest of this License.
- 164 -
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program are restricted in certain countries
either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who
places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted
only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a
version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does
not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever
published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO

WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
- 165 -
CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN

WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU
OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY
OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
